Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/12/2014 -- Following a period of slowing economic growth, we believe that the Indonesian economy is likely nearing a bottom. Real GDP growth slowed to 5.1% year-on-year (y-o-y) in Q214, its slowest clip since Q309. Despite the recent slowdown in economic growth, we continue to remain sanguine on the long-term prospects of the Indonesian economy. With a positive demographic outlook that will make the country increasingly attractive in terms of manufacturing, real GDP growth should be relatively broad-based across the archipelago. With food/drink/retail sector investments likely to be more forthcoming in the coming years, dynamism in consumer-facing sectors will consequently remain buo yant to support demand growth.
